Religion should be treated like a penis: Don't rub it in people's faces.
Atheism should be treated like a vagina: Just because you don't have a dick to rub in people's faces does not give you the right to rub in their faces what you have instead.

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
-Marcus Aurelius

The translations are what matter here. The first passage refers to witnessing the manifestation of God (in this case an angel), as in God in some physical form, whereas the next passages refer to a literal knowledge of the essence of God, which He is incomprehensible. :)

his passage (John 1:18) is not meant to deny that men had witnessed "manifestations" of God, as when he appeared to Moses and the prophets (example: the burning bush. ) In Genesis 32:30 Jacob had wrestled with an angel, a manifestation of God. John is saying that nobody has seen the essence of God, or has "fully known God."

this post is hardly an athiest post, its just simply stating that they're is no point trying to worry about what may or may not happen in our lives and instead of living are lives for god or using him as the exscuse for why bad things happen we should just simply live our lives and enjoy what we can.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
